A laugh, a laugh, my kingdom for a laugh!
Not something that you're gonna hear too often,
but if you're prone to speaking off the cuff,
without the common sense to mince or soften
expressions of your effervescent glee,
regardless of their circumstance or placement,
then whether paid for, or indeed for free,
deriving satisfaction from abasement
will put you at the risk of losing all.
Yes, silence is still worth its weight in gold
and speech still free, but there's a protocol,
unwritten though it is, and jokes grow old.
And so it turns that in the Land of Woke,
you'll lose entire kingdoms for a joke.
